Super League Predictions

sdandrea1 To each his own.

As an example. I would never, on my own initiative, spend more than $25 on a ticket to any spectator form of entertainment. I do pay more for golf and will also for the occasional amusement park. My wife, on the other hand, doesn't even hesitate for concert or football tickets and as a result I actually probably spend a couple grand every year taking the family to these events she really wants to go to. Although I am accepting of this, I'd be very dishonest if I said I understand it. Maybe if we were filthy rich, but we're not. For her, there is quite a bit of value in attending these things while for me it is just throwing money away.

Again, it's all relative. Take any activity someone enjoys. Does it add value and significance to their life? If it does it has some level of importance to their life. Some people love running (not me lol). It's an obsession for some. For them it's a very important part of their life. And in many cases seemingly unimportant things can add value to one's life.

Bottom line is this. To assume what is unimportant to you must also be unimportant for everyone else is presumptuous. Important things in life don't have to be necessities. Aside from food and shelter everything else has literally some level of unimportance in life.

Another example. For some going to church every Sunday is an important part of their life. For me my religious experience is found on a golf course surrounded by nature. For me going to church would add no value to my life and to a non golfer spending 4 hours on a golf course would add no value to their life.

The only argument I have is you can't project your opinion of what is important or unimportant onto anyone else. What's deemed important is in the eye of the beholder.

What are we arguing about exactly?

DonM What are we arguing about exactly?

Mullet vs. coiffed. Shorts vs capris.

Sneakylong Ha,ha. Whether or not someone can tell you what’s important in your life.

Not at all the point

What thread is this?

Sure it’s the point. Telling someone that sports have any real importance in their life is laughable, is telling someone what should or shouldn’t have any value in their life.

But like many issues we disagree on we can agree to disagree.

Like Eye 2 irons are beautiful, right?

Sneakylong Absolutely. In the eye of the beer holder. Lol

There, fixed that for you.

Sneakylong Your last sentence is my whole point. Whatever you personally place value on is valuable to you. We place value on things that don't have intrinsic value. Sports only matter if one thinks they do, and to the extent one thinks they do.
I'm not projecting my values on anyone. I love sports more than probably 80% of the population. I am simply pointing out that the value of sports is extrinsic, not intrinsic. You or anybody else could make the Buccaneers games the most important thing in your life, if you want to, and I don't care at all. But those games still don't have intrinsic value.

Typhoon I like it!!!

Sneakylong nope, your missing the point, again. Sports are very important in my life, playing not pro sports though.
But rsvman2 was talking about your beloved "legacy" in pro sports and I think you know that. Who.wins the World Series or a major while entertaining at the time is meaningless in most anyone's life. I doubt you put your beloved Patriots SB wins on the same pedestal as the birth of your child, or your marriage and if you do I feel sorry for you.
